Is Desmond Ridder the guy for the Atlanta Falcons?
The Falcons have improved drastically on both sides of the football this offseason. Now with their No. 8 overall pick in the draft, Bijan Robinson, the Falcons have a respectable offense with higher expectations. However, this is a quarterback league. Atlanta seems confident that Ridder can do the job and do the job well.
Even if Ridder can be the person for the job, how high is his ceiling? John Fricke has lofty expectations.
"If he is good as I think he is, he is a top-10 quarterback,” said Fricke. This league is filled with amazing and talented quarterbacks. Now more than ever, the game is centered around offense and the quarterback. So if Fricke is right, and Ridder can become a top-10 quarterback in the NFL, how good can this Falcons team be?

The Falcons have a last-place schedule, which favors Ridder and this Falcons offense. Starting the season strong is paramount for their success and the culture they are trying to create. Another element working for Ridder is the division. The division for the Falcons is theirs for the taking. If Ridder is the man for the job, we will be able to tell relatively early.
